Biography
Piero Cerutti was loyal to the House of Borgia and became a leader of the Followers of Romulus. He received enciphered letters from the Borgia family and worked for them, creating a cult that worked as assassins for Pope Alexander VI.

One day, Ezio Auditore da Firenze crept into the underground underneath the Colisseum in Rome in search of the scroll of Romulus, and he encountered Cerutti and his pack of wolves. Cerutti ordered the wolves to attack Ezio as he fled, but Ezio killed the followers and pursued Cerutti. Although he briefly lost him in a crowd of masked party-goers in the cellar, he later found him and chased Cerutti on a horse. He was able to kill him after a short pursuit, and Ezio took the scroll.
